"Dawn" lyrics
"Dawn"
Wings are getting tired, I'm on my final branch
The rest have crumbled under weight of loves that didn't last
And I ground down all my teeth from shivering in my own mess
If my thoughts were an empty room you'd surely see your breath
'Cause this cold that I've been feeling can't be quenched by quilts or flame
I need the comfort of another to end my lonesome ways
But it seems farfetched that out there wait two eyes that can't see me
And shame has spoken, if I'm chosen, she must be so naive
Oh, I had cuts on my feet
'Cause I was running all night
Stumbling blind through the streets
I didn't care if I died
And when I thought I was lost
I caught a sight of her eyes and
She broke through the fog
And pulled me on
I needed light and she was dawn
Oh I'm flattered that you want me but there's something on my chest
I don't have much to give you please don't steal what I have left
'Cause the rain is back
It's patiently waiting for a sign
To cover every inch of me when your roof gets bored and tired
But she brought a finger toward her lips then showed me where she'd bruise
Said "If that cloud is coming I'll sit under it with you"
Oh, I had cuts on my feet
'Cause I was running all night
Stumbling blind through the streets
I didn't care if I died
And when I thought I was lost
I caught a sight of her eyes and
She broke through the fog
And pulled me on
I needed light and she was dawn
Oh I was wrought by my own
Didn't think I would leave
'Til your shoulder touched mine when you sat next to me
Yeah, I was dead-way drunk sippin' on Acres wine
I've been sobered up since you went through my life
Oh, I had cuts on my feet
'Cause I was running all night
Stumbling blind through the streets
I didn't care if I died
And when I thought I was lost
I caught a sight of her eyes and
She broke through the fog
And pulled me on
I needed light and she was dawn

Max McNown - "It's Not Your Fault" This broken world is up to no good

There's a world upon this map and it's fading

All the waves are rolling out...
Vincent Lima - "Captured" We were captured en route to escape
Time got angry and wrote down our names
It takes courage to stay in one place
To feel loved as a prisoner

Cameron Whitcomb - "Digging Holes" I left home just to follow my feet
Had a rough couple years
And I had to retreat
'Cause I was seventeen with too much to prove
But it's hard to grow up when there's rot in your roots
I ain't six...
